I'm sorry I should have been more specific, my comment is purely speculation but I would think that's a good guessThanks! I can't find this info though... Do you have a link?
Apparently Apple got a lot of pushback on the implementation schedule. I’m not sure delaying the rollout for a few months is caving in to Facebook.Taking it soooooo seriously that they delayed the anti-tracking features in iOS 14?
Its a good feature it is just supremely disappointing that they caved to Facebook over the anti-tracking on the same day they announce this and come out with a privacy video.

Apple won't force developers to let users opt out of tracking until next year | TechCrunch
The iOS 14 privacy feature, announced earlier this year, will not be enforced until 2021.techcrunch.com
Article contains a statement from Apple, it was also added to the original MR article HOURS ago, you might want to read up before accusing people of posting rumors as fact.
We want to give developers the time they need to make the necessary changes, and as a result, the requirement to use this tracking permission will go into effect early next year.
They have not caved just delayed as Devs stated they did not have a lot of lead time to implement the changes.Taking it soooooo seriously that they delayed the anti-tracking features in iOS 14?

Fantastic, but LONG Overdue !
And, hoping AAPL has an option for us App Devs to specific "Collects NO User Data" & that it is prominently displayed to End Users !
Perhaps but it is certainly not good for the consumer and it is definitely bad optics to do this on the day you release a privacy video.Apparently Apple got a lot of pushback on the implementation schedule. I’m not sure delaying the rollout for a few months is caving in to Facebook.
Implement changes = Circumvent new privacy features.They have not caved just delayed as Devs stated they did not have a lot of lead time to implement the changes.
Facebook.I want to see a developer submit app that fails at every category.
privacy is not Capitalized ...What do you not understand? it's referring to Privacy
You said “Apple is taking this privacy really seriously now as always.”. What the poster that replied to you was saying, is that your statement was contradictory. Saying Apple is “seriously now as always” denotes that Apple hasn’t been as serious in the past as they are this moment, which negates the last part of your post “as always.”What do you not understand? it's referring to Privacy
Attempting to be grammar cop on the forum is against the rules.privacy is not Capitalized ...
What's to prevent a developer from filling out the form incorrectly, and if they get caught, claiming ignorance because it was caused by a bug or that the person that filled the form made a mistake?
That excuse would only work once. Then they would have to update the form properly or be exposed to the whole world for the lying scum that they are.
Everybody has to help play their part by applying pressure on these errant developers and keeping them honest.
It will be interesting to see how Facebook and Google fill out their forms.
Yes we’ll have to continue suffering (for awhile).Perhaps but it is certainly not good for the consumer and it is definitely bad optics to do this on the day you release a privacy video.
Facebook’s form is going to be as long as a CVS receipt
With these definitions and this approach, I was able to reduce a privacy policy for our most complicated app to bullet points. I fear how Apple's going to actually ask these questions and present the answers, though. Given that users can enter and share what they like (with who they like) in our app, it means we'd end up with quite a bit of boilerplate in each category if it's displayed that way. To be clear, that's a large part of the purpose of the app. Given Apple's terms, we collect a great deal… but it's all for using the way users choose. (It's private, invite-only groups where users can share whatever they like with each group.)
they should differentiate between "collecting" and "access". Collecting means they llook at the data and store it and maybe share it. Access means it used for the app functionality, like access to your photos so you can upload photos and access to you camera so you can take shots with the camera...not for them to spy on you using the camera.
